Anyway my brother "the farmer of
the family" said it would never have orange pumpkins, just
green ones. Anybody know if this is true?

is it in full sun? there's no reason it wouldn't have orange
pumpkins if it's parents were orange pumpkins. if they weren't
it might have white, yellow or bluish colored pumpkins. in
other words, a pumpkin will ripen to the color it's genetics
follow. there's no reason this pumpkin vine won't grow & ripen
fruit if it's in sun, has good soil & gets water. all pumpkins
start with green fruit.
why does your brother think it won't ripen?
